1. The phrase “feeling blue” originated at sea. When a ship lost its captain during a voyage, the sailors would sail blue flags, indicating their loss. Today, when you say you feel blue, you are feeling sad. 2. Sailing has been part of the Olympics since 1896. Except for the 1904 Summer Games, sailing has been included in all modern Olympic games. That makes it one of the longest running Olympic disciplines around. 3. Sailing around the world westward is more difficult than eastward. Most world-record contenders choose to sail eastward due to the stronger and more predictable winds and currents that push eastward in the Southern Hemisphere. 4. “He’s a loose cannon” is another phrase with sailing roots. The cannons on a ship could weigh up to 3,400 pounds. Just as a loose cannon could cause damage on ship, a person referred to as such may also create unwelcome situations. 5. The world-record sailing speed is 65.45 knots (121km/h). As of November 2012, the fastest sailing speed on record is held by Australian Paul Larsen. His specially designed Sailrocket 2 has an unconventional design meant for high-speed sailing.

Built in Brixham, Devon in 1908, Golden Vanity has had many roles. A family yacht, racing across the Atlantic, and training young people. In 2020, First Class Sailing took on Golden Vanity. She is now used for RYA courses, holidays and available for private charter. Golden Vanity is a class of sailing trawler known as a Mumble Bee, a 38ft Gaff Cutter. She offers traditional sailing adventures with great comfort below decks. Whether you want to learn to sail or enjoy a sailing adventure First Class Sailing can help. Sail Golden Vanity for a weekend of fun or join a longer voyage sailing along the coast of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Join us for Falmouth Classics or the Paimpol Sea Shanty Festival in Brittany, France. Sail a classic boat and learn traditional sailing techniques. Learning to sail on the RYA Competent Crew course is quite different from modern yachts. She is all wood and, unlike our other boats, there are no winches on board (apart from an anchor capstan) which means the sails all go up by hand. Plenty of teamwork and a good technique, which we will show you, make this possible. We also offer the RYA Day Skipper course on Golden Vanity. Ideal for those that have completed the Day Skipper on a modern yacht or have some traditional boat experience. Learn the sailing techniques required of a gaff-rigged boat from our Instructor. To find out more head to our website or follow us on our social channels. Please do call or email if you have any questions.

On Friday, we spent the day at Fowl Cay. Loaded up the dinghy with lunch, snorkeling gear and headed down to Fowl Cay. Moriah Harbour Cay National Park is quite beautiful. There's a ton to see and do near George Town, Bahamas. Well worth the :45 dinghy ride, even if it was a little bit rough.
